hi everyone!

hopefully i'm posting this in the right section...i didn't see an official "new members" section like many other forums have. i decided on getting into photography as a hobby about a month ago and have been lurking on a few forums ever since.

after reading everything i could find, i decided on getting an XSi w/ kit lens to start. i'm coming from a basic compact P&S digital and an S2 IS. i've loved using the S2 IS and its great zoom, but wanted to get into the "serious" aspects of photography.

so, i now have the XSi and have been playing around with it a bit, but am still in the process of learning all of the basics. my primary interests are in macro pics, so i'm now deciding on another lens (opinions seem to point to the Canon 100mm or Sigma 150mm macros).

so, in short, nice to meet you all and i look forward to learning more. :D

Hi there Gecko. Warm welcome to POTN, hope you have a great deal of fun here and learn lots also.

Nope, there's no "new members" section as such - we just encourage you to jump right in and start taking part.

Enjoy... :D

Welcome aboard, gecko.

Have fun with your new gear, and don't forget to post a duck picture when you get one.
